The sustained slowdown in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Venezuela supports the recent statement by the president of the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV), Luis Pérez, regarding single-digit inflation starting in May.

The sustained slowdown in the CPI has allowed the strengthening of purchasing power and economic predictability.

Pérez emphasized in an official statement that “the stabilization of the foreign exchange market has been the fundamental anchor for this achievement. Thanks to a plan that includes a foreign exchange intervention of more than $1.35 billion for the month of May, the central bank guarantees the necessary fluidity and lubrication for the national productive sector.”

Pérez underscored that Venezuela is currently positioned as the fastest-growing economy in Latin America this year, and cited projections from several international organizations: ECLAC places Venezuela’s growth at 6.5 %; the UNDP forecasts a GDP increase of 7.4 %; and the International Monetary Fund estimates growth of 4 % for 2026 and up to 6 % for 2027.

Last week, Jerome Powell chaired the Fed’s final meeting, keeping rates between 3.5 % and 3.75 %, before being replaced by Kevin Warsh at the end of the month.

In an official statement, the Federal Reserve indicated that inflation in the United States is high, adding that “developments in the Middle East are contributing to a high level of uncertainty about the economic outlook.”

State-level representatives noted that due to the conflict with Iran, the Fed is currently facing the price of oil above $100 a barrel, as well as increased fuel costs and a rising unemployment rate.

Regarding the transition after Warsh’s confirmation by the Senate, it is hoped that it will bring some calm to the problems facing the US economy.

U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that he will announce the successor to Jerome Powell, current chairman of the Federal Reserve (Fed), in early 2026.

Trump stated that he had offered the position to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, but the official does not want it. On the other hand, his chief economic advisor, Kevin Hassett, has emerged as the favorite in recent days.

In any case, “the appointment of Donald Trump’s candidate must be validated by the Senate, which has a Republican majority.”

If elected to succeed Powell, whose term ends next May, Hassett, who holds a doctorate in Economics, “will have to convince the rest of the political class and investors that he will not allow inflation to spiral out of control. And that he is capable of preserving the independence of an institution that he himself has helped to criticize in recent months.”

The president of Fedecámaras, Felipe Capozzolo, announced last week that they will present their “Plan to Boost Investment and Productive Employment in Venezuela” during the upcoming National Council meeting, to be held during the first week of December.

Capozzolo said in an interview with the program Dos más Dos on Unión Radio that they hope their proposal will be considered by government authorities. He also emphasized that, regarding communication with the Executive branch, “there must be fluid relations to address difficult issues” and make progress on matters such as energy, public services, electricity, financing, inflation, and taxes paid by the private sector.

According to Capozzolo, it is essential to review the conditions of tax and parafiscal obligations in the country, considering that businesses want access to “digital assets, to create more jobs, generate exportable goods, penetrate new markets, and this would require building agreements, and this must be done directly with the national government.”

In this way, according to the executive, companies commit to generating 70 % of jobs and 50 % of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in non-oil goods.

The data in the Fed minutes in the United States show the institution’s willingness to make further interest rate cuts before the end of the year.

However, “the governing body emphasized that the impact of tariffs on prices is still uncertain and that high levels of inflation could be more persistent than expected.”

During the last meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) members of the United States Federal Reserve (Fed), on September 17, they indicated their willingness to lower interest rates again this year, although with some fear that inflation could pick up.

The majority of participants in the meeting indicated that “it would be appropriate to further ease policy during the remainder of the year,” without neglecting the upside risks to their inflation outlook.

In the committee vote, those responsible for national monetary policy voted 11 to 1 for a 25 basis point reduction in interest rates “and leaving them in the range of 4% to 4.25%, the first cut in 2025.”

The results of last month’s meeting on macroeconomic projections left the path is open to “two more quarter-point cuts by the end of the year within their baseline scenario. However, six of the 19 participants projected one cut or none at all.”

Peru’s year-on-year inflation saw a slight rebound in September, reaching 1.33 %, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI). However, according to the Central Reserve Bank, the indicator remains within the 1 % to 1.3 % range.

On the other hand, last month’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased to 0.04 % compared to August. The items that showed the greatest increase were recreation and culture (0.17 %); healthcare, restaurants, and hotels (both at 0.15 %); miscellaneous goods and services (0.13 %); and furniture, household goods, and home improvement (0.05 %).

The National Institute of Statistics (INEI) also revealed in its report that the cumulative variation for the year is 1.15 %. However, inflation in the Latin American country remains within the 1 % to 3 % range set by the Central Bank of Lima.

Regarding the Consumer Price Index for Metropolitan Limait stood at 0.01 % in September and 1.25 % for the year. Year-over-year inflation was 1.36 %., 

Data on inflation by city indicate that “three cities registered rates above 2%, with Ica standing out at 2.28 %, followed by Tumbes at 2.09 % and Piura at 2.03 %.”

Of the 26 cities where the Consumer Price Index is calculated, 15 reported price increases, with the largest increases in Puerto Maldonado (0.38 %), Puno (0.31 %), Arequipa (0.29 %), and Piura (0.26 %).

Likewise, eleven cities recorded negative results, including Huancavelica (-0.38 %), Moyobamba (-0.34 %), Moquegua (-0.28 %), and Chachapoyas (-0.20 %).

The projection for an increase in inflation for the last quarter of the year is pending, pointing to a closing of 1.8 %, “driven by the low comparison base, and 2.5 % in 2026, due to the normalization of food prices and smaller drops in the exchange rate and inputs,” according to BBVA.

In September, eurozone inflation exceeded analysts’ projections, closing the month with a 2.2 % increase. This trend was driven by rising prices for goods and services, particularly energy costs.

According to the European Central Bank (ECB) forecasts, “Eurozone inflation is expected to average 2.1 % in 2025, 1.7 % in 2026, and 1.9 % in 2027.  As for the underlying inflation rate, the projection is 2.4 %, 1.9 %, and 1.8 % in 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively.”

The eurozone manufacturing sector is entering a contraction, with no signs of stabilization in sight for the region’s countries, due to a decline in new orders.

In addition to these factors, there are the consequences of tariffs imposed by the US government, internal problems in each country, armed conflicts, and fluctuations in global energy demand.

Interest rates will remain in the 4.25 % to 4.5 % range for the coming months, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell announced last week.

The decision was made on Wednesday, June 18, in anticipation of a possible spike in inflation for the rest of the year.

Powell defended the Fed’s position, stating: “We expect significant inflation in the coming months, and we need to take that into account. […] We’ll make smarter and more informed decisions if we wait a couple of months or as long as it takes to get a sense of what the real impact of this inflation will be and what the effects on spending and hiring will be.”

The Fed chairman insisted that the country is prepared to respond to potential macroeconomic disruptions.
